Unspeakable bubbles

"Lady Carmen, Niu Niu has already replied to me."

Carmen, who was sitting and drinking tea, immediately stood up: "What does Your Majesty say?"

"My master said it was a one-time teleportation array."

"..."

"......"

The meeting room was deathly silent. Carmen, Crove, and Qianbian all stared at Anne without saying a word.

"Well, the master's answer was—it's a one-time teleportation array."

Under immense pressure, Anne repeated herself.

"I heard that a teleportation array is... you know, the kind of thing where if you stand inside, you can whiz around and be transported from one place to another?" Krov stammered.

"Yes."

"How is this possible? Something that guy couldn't figure out back then, and now an organization has already mastered it?!"

"Teleportation array? Such a fantastical thing, how could it exist in reality!"

"It doesn't make sense. It's impossible that there was absolutely no news about it before. This is something that can shake the world. What organization could keep it completely under wraps and not let a single word of it leak out?"

Seeing the three of them so distraught, Annie realized the seriousness of the situation.

Previously, she only had a feeling of "Wow, that's amazing" and didn't think carefully about what the appearance of the teleportation array meant.

"Master Thousand Transformations, you said that teleportation arrays can... shake the world?"

"Phew, that's absolutely right."

Qianbian's expression was complicated: "To give you an example, if the Great Grassland had something so extraordinary, the Kheshig army could launch a direct attack on the capital at any time."

"Even if Sion's overall strength is several times greater than that of the Great Plains, I'm afraid the final result will still be a complete defeat for Sion."

Anne was immediately moved; she finally understood how the three of them had felt.

"Which force is this? It's unbelievable, unimaginable!"

Krov's voice held a hint of fear: "They have the power to overturn the world!"

"..."

I said

At that moment, Carmen spoke up.

"When it comes to religious organizations that are more powerful than the Viper, do wicked things, and act in extreme ways, what comes to mind?"

“Those blank black scriptures might just be a diversionary tactic,” Qianbian said in a deep voice.

"Just a guess."

Carmen shrugged. "But don't you think that a certain church meets all the conditions I just mentioned?"

"If that church had a teleportation array, to be honest, I'd actually find it somewhat acceptable."

"You mean... the Apocalypse Secret Sect!?"

Section 517, Chapter 516: We've waited too long.

"Is the Heavenly Revelation Esoteric Sect going after us?"

"The viper and them had no prior conflict."

"It may not be specifically targeting the viper. Perhaps the cult wants to provoke the situation in the south, and our delegation is just a convenient target."

Carmen thought for a moment: "However, if it really is the Apocalyptic Cult, they didn't achieve their goal in one strike, so they won't do anything to the Yogtis in the short term."

"Oh, I didn't expect Lady Carmen to have some knowledge of the Apocalypse Tantric Buddhism?"

Qianbian looked at Carmen and said in a strange tone.

"Hmm? Lord Qianbian, don't get any ideas. I'm not like those lunatics."

Carmen quickly said, "However, a long, long time ago, one of my... adversaries had contact with the esoteric sects."

"Because he's my rival, I know everything he knows."

Because he's your rival, do you know everything he knows?

Is there any causal relationship involved?

Under normal circumstances, Qianbian would never let it go easily.

But the thought that the Apocalyptic cult might have its eye on the viper made her feel immense pressure.

At this moment, Qianbian had no intention of dwelling on Carmen.

"Should we continue the investigation?"

"Wouldn't continuing the investigation be counterproductive?" Crove asked uncertainly.

"My personal suggestion is to stop for now."

Carmen said helplessly, "I am a victim. Although I really don't want to let the mastermind get away with it, if it really is the cult, I'm afraid only the King himself can handle it."

"..."

Krov and Thousand Changes exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Carmen has so much confidence in the Commander-in-Chief? I'm guessing, but that's the Apocalypse Cult, which controls the teleportation array!

"Your Majesty, the language of 'beasts' and 'spells' has been fully deciphered."

"The experts searched all the suspicious places on the other side and finally focused their attention on a mountain."

Stuart was slightly moved: "A mountain? What's so special about that mountain?"

The minister respectfully replied, "There are two trees on the mountaintop, and the masters have tried every means but have been unable to touch their branches."

"Those two trees were like phantoms, but they were indeed rooted on the mountaintop."

"..."

"What do the masters mean?"

"The masters suspect that those two trees are the enemy lord's secret weapon. Your Majesty, the empire must be on high alert."

"Hmph, banish those two trees and that mountain from this space."

Stuart said calmly, "This is the next task I'm giving to the masters, to get them to work together to complete it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Have you found the lord on the other side?"

"Your Majesty, the masters are working hard."

The lizardman emperor clearly showed his displeasure, but he didn't say anything more.

"Hmm? Your report is finished, is there anything else?"

The minister bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the desire for war is now higher than ever throughout the empire..."

"I know what I'm doing!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."

Seeing that Stuart was on the verge of anger, the minister immediately dared not say anything more.

"......Wait a moment"

Stuart glanced at the minister and pondered for a moment.

Although he rarely left the palace, Stuart had his own eyes and ears to know the movements of the entire empire, large and small.

The minister was absolutely right; in fact, he was underestimating the truth.

Not only is the desire for war at an all-time high, but there are also widespread complaints within the army.

Why don't we attack the opponent who is clearly weak?

They always launch small-scale battles; when will they be able to wage a major war?

What? Your Majesty wants to gather intelligence on the other side first; everything else is off the table until then?

Well, okay, it's good to be careful!

After waiting and waiting, the masters finally figured out the situation on the other side, and even deciphered the language of 'beasts' and 'spells'.

Now, shouldn't the fighting begin?

Stuart could imagine that if he were to use force again this time, things would probably...

'We can't delay any longer; if we drag this out any longer, even the masters might become alienated from us.'

Despite his overwhelming strength, he was fully capable of suppressing any dissent.

However, an empire is not one's own empire.

Even Stewart needs supporters!

"You, tell the masters."

"The Empire will launch its final offensive whenever they banish that mountain from space!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers were overjoyed. They had waited so long, and their emperor had finally seen the light!

In stark contrast to the ministers' ecstatic joy, Stewart's face remained ashen at this moment.

'Beasts,' 'warlocks,' well, add 'defectives' to the mix, they're nothing to worry about, they pose no threat to the Empire.

Although that lord is mysterious, he shouldn't be a match for me.

Stuart remembered the strange four-legged creature; it must have been the lord on the other side who rescued it.

'While remaining out of the public eye maintains an air of mystery, isn't it also a sign of a lack of confidence?'
